CS63 The Twelve Days of Christmas

For this issue of creative stamping I looked at using different shaped cards. There is a double page of stamps to use, so lots of cards to do.

I like some of these stamps are a lot more than than others but I used them all as not everyone's taste is the same.

Flowers and Snowflakes

Ideas on flowers and snowflakes could intermingle hence the reason I've put them together but once you get started on them it's difficult to stop.
Dies here are from John Next door and creative expressions. ( I forgot to say last post that the bird dies were from Creative expressions)

I do like John's idea of stamping a sheet and then die cutting all in one go as with the poinsettias, although a couple are from the dies without the stamps.

The deer came with the snowflake frame so that cuts across 2 of my planned workshops.

A little bird told me....

…. that Christmas is coming and there are lots of birds around to share it - robins get everywhere stamps and different dies, Then there are the doves which went well with background dies and the special effects paints.

Oh dear... there's a lot of deer around this year

……..and so lots to do with deer stamps and dies.
As you can see I kept trying different backgrounds with the Woodware deer stamps, including lots of ways with pixie powders.
Then there were the dies - "John Next Door " provided the dies with which again I had lots of ideas to play with …...and I still keep thinking of more!

These feature in next weeks workshop - could be Tues afternoon or Weds as advertised, (since I 've been asked to swop Tues for Weds)
